Along the banks, my voice choked with my ecstasy I’ll chant “Kṛṣṇa” in great delight. dhāma-bāsī jane, praṇati koriyā, māgibo kṛpāra leśa vaiṣṇava-charaṇa-reṇu gāya mākhi, dhori’ avadhūta-veśa (3) And when will I bow down before a resident of the holy Dhām and beg from him a drop of mercy; when oh when will I smear my body with dust from a Vaiṣṇava’s holy feet and wear the mendicant’s cloth? gauḍa-braja-bane, bheda nā heribo, hoibo baraja-bāsī dhāmera svarūpa, sphuribe nayane, hoibo rādhāra dāsī (4) Then I shall see no difference between the forest of Gauḍa and Braja, and I will be transformed into a resident of the Dhām. The true nature of the Lord’s divine abode will manifest before my eyes, and I will become a maidservant of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī.
